Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are stepping into the ring together in early 2026 for an exhibition match organized by CSI Sports, pitting two of boxing’s most iconic names against each other in a spectacle that defies logic and weight classes.
Tyson, who will be nearly 60 at the time of the fight, and Mayweather, who turns 48 in February, have agreed to the non-sanctioned bout, which won’t impact Mayweather’s spotless 50-0 professional record. The matchup is being billed as pure entertainment, not a competitive contest, especially given the wide gap in age, weight and fighting styles. Tyson, the former heavyweight terror with a 50-7 record and 44 knockouts, last fought in a 2024 exhibition loss to Jake Paul. Mayweather, who last fought professionally in 2017, has since taken part in several exhibition bouts, maintaining his brand and undefeated legacy.
